Melding future gear VS the tank meta

[Syzygian]

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong:

1. Raid/tomestone gear will be meldable, not just crafted gear.
2. Pentamelding will still be possible, but you cannot overmeld with primary stats. i.e. you get 1 materia of STR or VIT etc. so any subsequent melds will have to be secondaries (crit, parry, acc, etc.)
3. Crafted gear will be stronger innately? I don't see the point in this if raid/tomestone accessories are going to be meldable. They were already fine for their ilvl.

So what this means and what I think is perplexing a lot of people is that they've essentially minimized the primary stat impact of melding, but overall they have made melding doubly necessary for gear optimization, and this will hold true for all jobs, not just tanks.

i.e. you get a full set of i230 gear or whatever it winds up being, but its still not BiS until you pentameld all of it. The only silver lining is that only 1/5 of those melds will need to be primary stats which really isn't that much of a consolation. It may be too early to say, but it certainly appears that this issue will hold true regardless of what they do with vit/str damage stat weighting for tanks.
